AND THIS IS SUCH A FUN STORY... FOLKS IN THE FRONT OFFICE SAY A LOT OF FANS ENJOY WATCHING THE BLACK LABS MORE THAN THE BASEBALL. AND IF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN TO THE PARK IN A WHILE, YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW ABOUT THE NEW MEMBER OF THEIR TEAM. CMON, LET'S GET IN YOUR KENNEL. LETS GO. TRACK THERE AREN'T TOO MANY CLUBHOUSES IN PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL WHERE YOU'RE JUST AS LIKELY TO BUMP INTO A DOG AS YOU ARE A PLAYER. TO BUMP INTO A DOG AS YOU ARE A PLAYER. AND THAT'S THE WAY DONALD MOORE LIKES IT. I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MANY PEOPLE COME TO OUR GAMES AND SAY, YOU KNOW THE ONLY REASON I COME TO THESE GAMES IS TO WATCH THESE DOGS. TRACK THESE DOGS ARE HIS- AT LEAST TWO OF THEM ARE. MISS BABE RUTH BRINGS BASEBALLS TO THE HOME PLATE UMPIRE. SHE ACTUALLY STARTED IN 2006 SO THIS IS HER 8TH SEASON IN LOW-A BASEBALL, WHICH IS PROBABLY A RECORD. TRACK MASTER YOGI BERRA IS THE BALL HAWK OF THE GROUP- SPRINTING TO CENTER FIELD TO SCOOP UP A GROUNDER, THEN RACING BACK TO THE TUNNEL JUST IN TIME FOR THE START OF THE NEXT HALF INNING. DM: HE SEES A BALL AND HE JUST LOSES IT. KB: TYPICAL DOG? DM: YUP. TRACK THEN THERE'S ROOKIE. DONALD'S SON'S DOG- LOU LOU GEHRIG WHO'S ONLY ONE AND A HALF, BUT SOME DAY, WILL TAKE OVER FOR THE BABE. IT'S ONE THING TO PERFORM IN FRONT OF A BIG CROWD NIGHT AFTER NIGHT BUT THINK OF THE MECHANICS OF PICKING UP A BASEBALL BAT WITH YOUR MOUTH. IT'S NOT EASY TO DO. PLUS, YOU KNOW, PINE TAR. TRACK OUT ON THE FIELD THEY USUALLY MAKE IT LOOK PRETTY EASY. BUT THERE'S A LOT GOING ON BEHIND THE SCENES THAT FANS NEVER SEE...INCLUDING UNIFORM PREPARATION, PRACTICE...AND OTHER ...LAST MINUTE BUSINESS . EACH ONE OF THESE DOGS HAS GONE THROUGH 7 MONTHS OF RIGOROUS, OFF- SITE, PROFESSIONAL TRAINING. AND ON TOP OF THAT- DONALD SAYS THEY'RE INCREDIBLY INTELLIGENT ANIMALS THAT COME FROM CHAMPION BLOODLINES. THE DOGS LOVE IT. THEY GET TO COME TO WORK EVERY DAY AND THEY KNOW WHEN IT'S TIME TO COME DOWN THOSE STAIRS AND GO TO WORK. BUTT SOTS IT'S TURNED OUT MUCH BETTER THAN I EVER DREAMT IT WOULD, SO I'M PRETTY HAPPY. DONALD MOORE SAYS HIS FAVORITE MOMENT WITH HIS DOGS CAME IN 2007 WHEN GREENSBORO'S MANAGER WENT OUT TO ARGUE A BAD CALL AT HOME PLATE. HE ENDED UP SPIKING HIS HAT IN DISGUST. DONALD TOLD MISS BABE RUTH TO GO FETCH THE HAT. SHE DID. AND THE PLACE WENT NUTS.

Hillary Clinton's office said "nothing nefarious was at play" when the former secretary of state used her personal email address, rather than one provided by the State Department, during her four years as America's top diplomat.
